Disappointing. It’s a shame because the location and the food are good. However the service it’s poor, the person serving the water was more attentive than the waitress. On top of that the service charge is included and they are charging more if you use a credit card. Which was not the case before. Not a winning combination. Hope things improve soon.

Poor service!!! The waitress was very unprofessional - she never came back to our table to take the rest of our orders until we approached her. After that she never came back. The automatic tip that was included in our bill she did NOT deserve. I hope that was given to ones that kept pouring us water. I don't usually write reviews but it was such a bad experience I had to. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The food was delicious and the drinks were great! The ambience was Fun and different. The music was at a perfect level where you can hear it yet still have a conversation with everyone at the table. I got the Chocolate mousse and it was fantastic!
